Hesse-Homburg

The Landgraviate of Hesse-Homburg (1622-1866) was a German city-state centered at Bad Homburg in the Hesse region of Germany. The state provided Hessians to Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War, selling off mercenaries for the British. In 1806 it merged with Hesse-Darmstadt but in 1815 the incorporation was revoked. In 1866 it was in turn inherited by Darmstadt and later by Prussia.
